    In Duchamp's Shadow : Dadaist in the City of Machines

    d IN DUCHAMP’S SHADOW: Dadaist in the City of Machines John Cohassey In Detroit’s Scarab Club, a charming brick 1920s arts and crafts structure is Marcel Duchamp’s signature—thirteen small cryptic letters on a wooden ceiling beam. This talismanic auto­ graph stirred my interest in finding out why and when Duchamp added his name to the collection of signatures in the club’s lounge. I was aware that Duchamp came to Detroit in November 1961 to speak at the Detroit Institute of Arts and re­ ceive an honorary degree from Wayne State University. This being the only information about Duchamp having visited De­ troit of which I knew, I set out to find a link between the Scarab Club signature and his coming to Detroit in 1961. We may never know why Duchamp—who never spoke fondly of history, especially its art movements and “isms” and rejected all facets of aesthetic commercialism—accepted an honorary degree from an urban university so far from the powerful centers of the art world. But for an artist fascinated by the machine and mechanical drawings, Detroit may have been a fitting place for such an honor. At the time of Duchamp’s visit, the seventy­four­year­old artist had emerged from a relatively isolated life in New York City to appear on television and at museum and gallery events. After nearly a half century of bachelorhood (he was married briefly in 1927), Duchamp married again in 1955 and became an American citizen. Unlike many other influential artists, he 11 avoided a self­destructive path.

    Abstract Animation, Conceptual Art, and Don Delillo's Underworld

    Abstract Animation, Conceptual Art, and Don Delillo’s Underworld: collectibles and non-collectibles in art Takashi WAKUI “These materials have no esthetic interest. They are discolored and crum- bling. Old paper, that’s all it is. My customers come here largely for the clutter and mess. It’s a history they’re part of.” (Don Delillo, Underworld, p.322) Delillo’s Underworld: Don Delillo is one of the most celebrated contemporary American novelists. Of his numerous works Underworld (1997) is arguably his most ambitious. The title “underworld” is a metaphor for many things that appear in the novel, among them, the underground nuclear waste, the graffiti artist who lives and works in the NY subway system, the mafia underworld that is alleged (by one of the main charac- ters) to have infiltrated the waste management industry, the desolate urban land- scape of the Bronx with its population of underclass dwellers, and the part of the Cold War history that is still classified and therefore only surfaces as rumors. In other words, the “underworld” stands for things hidden, buried underground either because they are disagreeable, filthy, dangerous or criminal but nevertheless un- avoidable in every society. The novel is also about the capitalist economy that works as a lubricant to turn such waste into money. One of the main characters, Nick Shay, is an executive of a waste management company. Waste management is a growth industry in today’s capitalist world. In the capitalist economy waste is a commodity like anything else. (The diversified Bill Gates is said to have a stake in one major waste management company.

With Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), children’s literature escaped from the grimly moral tone of evangelical tracts to delight in magical worlds populated by talking rabbits and stubborn lobsters. A key work in modern fantasy literature, it is the prototype of the portal quest, in which readers are invited to follow the protagonist into an alternate world of the fantastic. The Alice books are one of the best-known works in world literature. They have been translated into over one hundred languages, and are referenced and cited in academic works and popular culture to this day.

Box 21598 | Bakersfield CA 93390 | DECISIONGAMES.COM Excerpt from Strategy & Tactics #50 The Last Strategies By Stephen B. Patrick Germany By December, 1944, the Axis existed only in Hitler’s mind. Accordingly, all strategies were Hitler’s. Germany was fighting on four fronts by this time: the west, Italy, Poland and the Balkans. The last two were nominally one front, but, because the two Soviet drives were basically independent, they had to be treated separately. Hitler’s strategy, such as it was, was one of desperation and wishful thinking. He was convinced that the Anglo-American alliance with the Soviets could not endure. Subsequent events proved him right. What he failed to recognize was that the mutual hatred they bore for Nazism was sufficient to hold the alliance together for the duration of the war. Hitler seemed to have few illusions about Germany’s chances to win the war. He now wanted to settle for destroying Communism. Hitler convinced himself that he could work out an alliance with the Anglo- Americans and the three would then crush the Bolshevik menace. To “encourage” the British and American governments to see things his way, Hitler felt he needed a major victory in the west. He may not have seriously believed he could root the western Allies, but he did expect to deliver a blow that would seriously upset the western timetable. He also hoped to so upset morale at home in the western alliance that the German Panzer V Panther on the Eastern Front, 1944.

    The Multifaceted Life of Lewis Carroll

    For Immediate Release 29 October 2005 Contact: Zoë Schoon 020.7752.3121 [email protected] THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS: THE MULTIFACETED LIFE OF LEWIS CARROLL “The more I read, the more impressed I became. The real testament to Carroll’s genius is that after a century and a half, he is still held in the highest esteem by an ever-growing audience of young and old, novice and scholar, logician and lover of nonsense”. Nicholas Falletta The Nicholas Falletta Collection of Lewis Carroll Books and Manuscripts Wednesday 30 November at 2.00pm South Kensington – One of the most considered and thoughtfully-assembled collections of Lewis Carroll material, The Nicholas Falletta Collection of Lewis Carroll Books and Manuscripts will be offered at Christie’s South Kensington on 30 November 2005. Comprising in excess of 120 lots, the sale illuminates the life and personality of this remarkable, many-talented man who wrote some of the best-loved childrens’ books in the English language. Featuring first editions, personal letters, original illustrations, books owned by Carroll, or given by him to his friends (both young and old), rare mathematical textbooks, and little-known games and puzzles, the collection is estimated to fetch in excess of £300,000. Mathematical beginnings… Lewis Carroll was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson in January 1832. He graduated from Christ Church, Oxford in 1854 with a BA Honours in Mathematics and Classics. Elected to a life fellowship, he continued to lecture at Oxford and publish mathematical broadsheets to help his students. It was during this time that he created his famous pseudonym by taking “Charles” and “Lutwidge”, and inverting the latinised form to create “Lewis Carroll”.
